SCR gets ‘Intimate’ with $45,000 from AT&T;

South Coast Repertory has received an AT&T; OnStage award for

$45,000 for a new play to be produced this upcoming season.

One of seven theaters in the country to receive this honor, SCR’s

award will be used for production expenses for the world premiere of

Lynn Nottage’s “Intimate Apparel,” which was co-commissioned and will

be co-produced with Baltimore’s Center Stage.

This year’s AT&T; OnStage grant is SCR’s fourth. The first was for

Howard Korder’s “Search and Destiny” in 1990, the second supported

Philip Kan Gotunda’s “Ballad of Yachiyo” in 1996 and the most recent

helped put on last season’s Horton Foote work, “Getting Frankie

Married -- and Afterwards.”

The award is part of AT&T;’s commitment to the theater arts,

especially supporting works by women and artists from different

cultures.
